Luxury SUV Video Reviews

Porsche occupies unique space in the automotive market because its brand is viewed as a high-end sports car manufacturer, but the truth is Porsche sells more cars in the U.S. than the exotic car manufacturers combined. Its best-selling models are SUVs like this mid-size Cayenne, whose starting prices range from $65,700 for the base model up to $124,600 for the Turbo.

Much like the iconic 911 sports car, the 2019 Cayenne's design has evolved gradually as it reaches its third generation. But you won't want to miss the important upgrades to the newly redesigned model.

2019 Cadillac XT4

The all-new 2019 Cadillac XT4 is a great entry-level luxury crossover that looks sharp on the outside, has nicely updated tech on the inside, is very comfortable, and provides plenty of interior and cargo space. Compact crossovers are the moneymakers these days, and the XT4 is the smallest crossover in the Cadillac lineup. Is it sporty or luxurious, or somewhere in the middle?

The XT4's base prices range from $34,795 for the Luxury FWD trim up to $41,795 for the Premium AWD. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine makes 237 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.

2019 Jaguar I-PACE

Tesla is the electric vehicle king right now, and there is no disputing that. But unfortunately for Tesla, more automakers are joining the EV party. The new Jaguar I-PACE is one of those vehicles that will make people take notice. Jaguar automobiles are associated with sleek lines and joyous driving, while the I-Pace also offers an all-electric range of 234 miles per charge.

As far as daily drivers go, it would be great to put one of these in your garage. The unbelievable 512 lb-ft torque makes this a blast. The interior and exterior are futuristic, and build quality is fantastic. Prices range from $69,500 and $85,900.

2019 Volvo XC40

We live in the era of the crossover, so we might as well embrace the trend. Thankfully there are automakers like Volvo making some solid choices. The 2019 Volvo XC40 is a brand-new offering from the Swedish automaker. Volvo’s current design language is tough to beat; the vehicles have similar styling elements, yet each one is unique. The XC40 also brings powerful yet fuel-efficient engines and affordable pricing.

Prices on the subcompact XC40 range from $33,200 for the Momentum FWD trim up to $39,750 for the Inscription AWD.

2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar

The 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar is the lowest, sleekest, and most aerodynamic Range Rover ever. The stylish and upscale packaging screams luxury. Prices range from $49,600 for the base P250 model up to $63,300 for the top P380 model.

The diesel-powered D180 seen here starts at $55,900. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbodiesel that makes 180 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy is 26 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway, bringing thriftiness to this high-style luxury SUV.

2019 Lexus UX 200

The 2019 Lexus UX 200 is an all-new entry-level luxury crossover. It features a well-executed interior, a pleasant driving experience, and competitive pricing for the compact luxury crossover segment.

Prices range from $32,000 for the base model up to $37,200 for the Luxury trim seen here. While it's not the biggest luxury SUV you can buy, it gets great gas mileage.

2019 Acura RDX

Since the RDX first went on sale back in 2006, Acura has sold over 375,000 of them, making it the most successful compact luxury crossover. But while past RDX models lagged their German rivals in terms of styling and performance, the redesigned 2019 RDX is a dramatic improvement, with flashy details, a great driving experience, and a stellar balance between sportiness and luxury.

Prices range from $37,300 for the base model up to $47,400 for the Advanced Package AWD trim.

2019 BMW X3 M40i

The vehicle tested here is no mere entry-level premium crossover. It's the M40i performance edition of the popular 2019 BMW X3, whose prices range from $42,650 for the base xDrive30i model up to $54,500 for the M40i.

The M40i's big improvement is a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine, whose 355 horsepower is a giant leap ahead of the base X3's 248-horsepower four-cylinder. There's real magic in the way it drives, either in a straight line or around curves.

2019 Audi SQ5

Audi’s latest crop of vehicles look good and are fun to drive, and the 2019 SQ5 crossover follows suit, starting from $54,300. Under the hood is a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine that makes 354 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.

The base model has some nice features including a panoramic sunroof. But for a few bucks more you can get the funky fresh Nappa leather upholstery or the Virtual Cockpit digital displays. The sporty crossover segment is packed with tons of competition and each vehicle adds something different or excels in one area. Sure, the Porsche Macan may be the fastest, but the SQ5 is comfortable, handles well, and looks good.

2019 Infiniti QX50

The days of the Infiniti EX35 are long behind us. Now we get the 2019 QX50, a stylish compact crossover whose base prices range from $36,550 up to $45,150.

Infiniti has a good thing going with its current vehicle styling, and the QX50's engine can adjust its compression ratio to maximize performance or fuel efficiency. There's also a great interior with generous passenger space and well-executed design details.
